sda is the USB connected disk, and in this case it has three partitions sda1-sda3

mmcblk0 is the SD card.

We can also see that none of the partitions on sda is mounted.

Wipe the disk by issuing the command:

# wipefs -a /dev/sda

The disk I used was 120 Gb. Partition sizes should be adjusted accordingly.

Create the following partitions by using:

fdisk -c -u /dev/sda

A 150 Mb Fat32 partition set as bootable. This will become /boot
A 58 Gb Linux partition. This will become /
A 52 Gb Linux partition. This will become /var
A 1.7 Gb swap partition (the rest of the disk).

10: Exit chroot, move out of the SSD filesystems and power off the Neuron

# exit
# cd ~
# poweroff

11: Remove power from the Neuron and remove the SD card.

12: Boot from SSD

13: Remove local ssh key
Prior to logging in to the Neuron you should remove your locally stored ssh key for the Neuron from your known_hosts file.

14: Modify /etc/fstab to use UUID instead of partition names

Use UUID instead of partition names in /etc/fstab. It is wise to do this modification to the fstab in case you attach another USB mass storage device to the Neuron, and what used to be /dev/sda has suddenly become /dev/sdb.
